Cloudcuckoolander/Video Games: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Portal (Video Game)|Portal]]''

** GlaDOS , despite being an all-powerful AI, seems to have a very loose grip on reality. She regularly makes childish insults at the player in later portions of the game and tries to convince you that one of the puzzles is impossible to test your resilience in an atmosphere of "extreme pessimism". She also instructs you to take the infamous Weighted [[Companion Cube]] (a box with hearts on all its sides) with you on one of the tests, then {{spoiler|asks you to euthanize the inanimate object at the end by dropping it in an incinerator. And guilt trips you over it}}.

** Wheatley, a literal [[Idiot Ball]].

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeKMS62GrTI The Space Core].

* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita|Agitha]] of ''[[The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess]]'' probably classifies. She's the self-proclaimed Princess of the Bug Kingdom, is seemingly ignorant of the fact that most people have no particular desire to bathe in snail slime, and demands that the Legendary Hero Chosen by the Gods go fetch bugs for her ball. Oddly enough, she's one of the most popular NPCs. And apparently, she cheerfully chats with wolves, in a world where most people just run. ''While referring to them as puppies''.

** Let's not forget the [[Americans Hate Tingle|infamous Tingle]]. He's a middle-aged guy who dresses in a [[Fan Disservice|skintight green outfit]] in order to emulate the "fairy boy" (Link). He's obsessed with Rupees, he flies all over the place using a red balloon, his [[Catch Phrase]] is "kooloo-limpah", and he forces his brothers and employees to dress in outfits similar to his. There's a very good reason why he was in a jail cell on Windfall Island in ''[[The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker]]''.

* Colette Brunel from ''[[Tales of Symphonia (Video Game)|Tales of Symphonia]]'' often falls under this, especially during the skits.

{{quote| '''Regal:''' Why does the subject of the conversation seem to go out the window when talking to Colette?}}

{{quote| '''Axe Knight:''' Kirby is moving along the base of the ship.<br />

'''Captain Vul:''' Not much we can do to him there... but the wind is strong.<br />

* Mikey Thomas of ''[[Backyard Sports]]'' qualifies.

* Laguna in ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]''. That dude said the darndest things.

* ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'' gives us Vanille. Whether she's molesting sheep for their wool, cooing over Chocobos, or skipping around acting like a sugar-high idiot, she never seems to be much of anything beyond this trope. {{spoiler|By midgame, it becomes apparent that while this may have been her personality 500 years previously, at present time it's mostly just an act to keep her [[Stepford Smiler]] facade unnoticeable to the rest of the party, especially Fang.}}

* ''[[The Suffering]]'' gives you a drugged-out and half-naked teenager out of his mind, begging you (who he thinks is his father, in his overdose-laden delusions) to protect him and help him to safety.

** Although, she is actually an incredibly smart person with more of a passing relationship with normal. You can find this if you hack her comp "Q: How to prevent raider attack. A: raider would not sit down for an interview". Despite that, she very well knows just how important the entire records of a library are, and how to make use of the knowledge.

* Mist from ''[[Rune Factory]]'' and ''[[Rune Factory Frontier]]'' is prone to saying odd things about the weather, turnips, and things about the world in general. Some of it doesn't make sense to anyone until later.

{{quote| "There were these geometries, these fractal star-worms, and they were competing for my affection, and they were amazed when my eyes... were pies, and they were spinning, and cooking, and dancing in figures of eight."}}

* ''[[Plants vs. Zombies (Video Game)|Plants vs. Zombies]]'' features Crazy Dave, who is [[Speaking Simlish]], wears an upside down pot on his head and has his [[Catch Phrase]] "'cause I'm craaaaaaaazy!"

* Bella from ''[[TCTRPG|The Color Tuesday]]'' is... a bit odd, generally acting like a lady of status from the 18th century in a game set in a parallel of the 20th. Her pretentiousness pisses Alex off no end.

* Yukari in ''[[Kara no Shoujo]]'' worries about koi drowning, has a great love for bugs and uses them nonchalantly in cooking.

{{quote| '''Rin:''' …So that's why I'm trying to figure out if there is something I need to figure out and then figure that out before it's too late and all hope is lost.}}

** {{spoiler|[[Deconstructed Trope|Utterly demolished in her route.]] Later scenes show that her eccentricity isn't always funny or cute, and Rin herself proves to be frustrated and discouraged with the fact that people can't understand her thoughts, whether through words or through her art. Hisao himself struggles hard to keep up with her train of thoughts, and sometimes gets extremely angry at her}}.

* In ''[[Hatoful Boyfriend (Video Game)|Hatoful Boyfriend]]'', we get Oko San, a bird absolutely obsessed with finding the "perfect pudding", and Anghel Higure, a bird who believes himself to be a fallen angel and the heroine to be his reincarnated lover Edel Blau. {{spoiler|Anghel's madness is actually justified later on when it's discovered that he secretes hallucinogenic pheromones.}}

* Brother from ''[[Final Fantasy X 2 (Video Game)|Final Fantasy X 2]]'' is about as weird as they get. Not only does he say outlandish things, he's almost always dancing in place or flailing his limbs while talking.

* ''[[Nine Hours Nine Persons Nine Doors]]'' has [[The Hero|Junpei]], arguably. Some of his thoughts and responses can be REALLY out there ("Apologize to funyarinpa!"). June sometimes has some weird moments, too. {{spoiler|You could say she has the excuse of being a walking supernatural phenomena}}. Actually, when you consider that they can still find the time to make lame puns in the midst of a dire situation under a strict time limit, the ''entire main cast'' probably counts.
